This is my daughter Madison, she's two weeks old today, and she was delivered at Summa
Barberton Hospital. Holding your baby for the first time, there's absolutely nothing
like it, absolutely amazing, you're just looking at this little being that you created, that
you had in your stomach for nine months, and now they're here, and they're out, and you
get to see them for the first time, and see their little face, and their fingers. There's
just absolutely nothing like that.
There are many reasons why expectant moms choose to give birth at Summa Barberton Hospital.
With one of the lowest C-section rates in Ohio, Summa Barberton Hospital is one of the
safest places to give birth in the region. Offering spacious, comfortable, and private
mother / baby rooms, Summa Barberton Hospital has plenty of options for expectant mothers.
I love my room, it was very big and open, lot of space, my parents and my husband all
slept there while I was in labor, so lots of room. It almost didn't feel like being
in a hospital.
Summa Barberton Hospital also offers the only labor, delivery, and postpartum unit in the
greater Akron area, which means new moms and their babies remain in the same room throughout
their entire stay. For women with low risk pregnancies who wish to have a more natural
birth experience, having a baby in a low risk birthing room can be an attractive option.
This program offers a more relaxed, family friendly atmosphere, where medical intervention
is kept to a minimum, and the entire family can be included in the birth process, along
with the security and peace of mind that comes from knowing that medical intervention is
just steps away if it is needed, comes the freedom to work with your doctor to design
your own unique birth experience.
Other options include the use of a birthing ball, and a portable hydrotherapy soaking
tub to promote relaxation and reduce discomfort during labor. Midwifery service is also available.
There was a nurse while I was there that I felt went above and beyond. I was having trouble
nursing my baby, after she was born, and she actually came in and sat with me for a very
long time, in the middle of the night, and just helped me get through it, helped madison
do what she needed to do, helped me do what I needed to do, and helped us kind of work
through that together.
Visitors can await the arrival of the newest member of the family in our mother baby unit's
comfortable waiting area. Free wireless internet and tv service are also available.
Having a baby is totally awesome, having the baby at Summa was just a totally great experience,
and one that I would like to have again.
